This innovation can reduce the demand on the national power grid, and in return save money as you take energy that’s already been paid for back from the Electric cars. Let’s put it this way, if you’ve already paid to charge your vehicle, why not use the left-over power to run your home too? Future-proof your life.

Unlike most existing EV charging technology, which sends energy only in one direction — from a power source to a car’s battery — bidirectional charging allows the vehicle to send that energy for use by other devices. Through a converter that’s usually present in the charger, it allows vehicles to send energy directly back to the grid.

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are similar to BEVs in that they have an electric-only powertrain, but they store energy differently. FCEVs store hydrogen gas in a tank rather than charging a battery. The fuel cell’s electricity then powers an electric motor, which drives the vehicle like a BEV.
